[quote=ASTA] That's...not how some nations work, specifically mine. The issue with the yul is that, while they do have high levels of trafficked contraband materials (mostly in the form of genemods and off-the-grid military-grade mechanical augmentations), actually making it into yul space while remaining undetected is a pipe dream at best and downright suicidal at worse. This is due to the fact that yul value their security, and have taken extensive measures to ensure their species' longevity in the wake of intergalactic imperialism and hostile xeno species by lacing their held territories with thousands of 'lurker drones' that run passive scanning routines, dyson swarms around stars that function as 'space denial systems' and a rather large amount of unmanned mobile military gun installations that run patrols throughout the systems that they are assigned to. As all of these measures maintain a constant linked network with one another, hiding and performing shady acts within a yul star system is rather folly, especially since the transferring of goods is done by pre-determined routes mapped out by an extensive wormhole gate network. Also, civilian or private firm spacecraft do not exist in the Yaren Axis. It's either government-controlled spacecraft or a drone freighter. Anything else is either a mining rig or something that doesn't belong, and things that do not belong there are usually tracked, asked to leave or outright destroyed (and then salvaged for parts). [/quote] Your faction sounds like it doesn't have too much freedom and individual choice. Also this a galaxy we're talking about so it is highly possible for there to be a galactic crime syndicate, and I think it would offer a lot of interesting aspects to the rp.
